Tea Party Fav, Rick Scott's Proposed Legislation has Cost Floridians Almost 1 million $$ to Date. (legal, drug)

[ray1945]

The worst governor in the US!

Almost all the laws have one thing in common (other than being challenged as unconstitutional or found unconstitutional): They weren’t written to address any legitimate problem. Study after study found no rampant voter fraud, welfare recipients aren’t all a bunch of drug addicts, and there is no great medical conspiracy to do away with the Second Amendment.Rick Scott's Liability to Taxpayers: As Lawsuits Against His Policies Mount, So Do Costs | FlaglerLive - Your News Service for Flagler County News Palm Coast News Bunnell Flagler Beach Beverly Beach and Marineland

And they tested 6% BELOW the national average for drug use amongst welfare recipients....didn't even prove the case for starting it in the first place.

Took the $$$$ to pay off the lawsuits and continue defending this right out of the education fund. NICE!!

Scott spent $73 million of his own money to become governor of Florida, now he's wasting taxpayer dollars.

No one I know will 'fess up to voting for Scott - how the hell did he get elected??

Did you read either link?

Below, Scott's four most expensive legal fights to date, as determined by the Sentinel (read the full story for more details):

• Retirement plans: $533,911.25 (including $499,288.25 to an Atlanta firm)
• Voting overhaul: $144,971.75 (all to a Washington D.C. firm)
• Welfare drug tests: $88,782.80
• Healthcare overhaul: $69,827.21

All four of the above legal challenges to Scott's proposed legislation are still in the process of being litigated, which means they are all continuing to drain the state coffers.

You can't litigate PROPOSED legislation. It has to pass before it can be legally challenged.

They have been passed. The new laws were PROPOSED and pushed through the Florida legislature by the Scott administration.
